The Cheat Plant Mage Hides to Live a Slow Life!! ～ I’ve Been Banished from the Court and Want to Raise a World Tree but my Territory is too Strong～ - Chapter 47

Plant Mage 47

The Harvest is too Abundant (1)

There was something I miscalculated in my pioneering life.

The flowerkins were many times more industrious than I expected.

According to the analysis conducted by Navi, the flowerkins form small groups that raise several children. It seems that many of these groups gathered together and formed a colony and that’s where the flowerkins were living in this place.

(I see. So their ecology is similar to that of prairie dogs.)

It reminded me of something I read on a billboard at the zoo a long time ago.

The smallest herd is a coterie, a group of coterie is a colony, and if they gather more, it’s a town. They are rather a small colony.

「Even so, they are very well organized….!」

The passion of the flowerkins for plants is amazing.

While I was sleeping, they voluntarily worked shifts to tend the field, 24hrs a day.

As a result, the soil improvement work has progressed at an amazing speed.

With the help of my “Life Growth” magic, the berries rapidly grow.

Thus, the harvest was more than we had expected.

Spring Berries: 50 baskets.

Red Berries: 20 baskets

This was the harvest for the day.

The spring berries were for the flowerkins.

The red berries are for my business.

It is a raw material for high potions and there’s an endless demand from the combat-type guilds.

In the guild autonomous region, one silver coin = 5000 yen.

Remembering that the catkin girl almost had a stroke seeing a basket full, I wonder if I should prepare a heart attack potion.

「Well, if they could get a steady supply, the price would probably drop.」

「Harvest, a lot♪」

Frau, a flowerkin, is smiling happily.

Even though she’s one of those working in shifts 24 hours a day, she still gives me a radiant smile.

「Hmm, black talent…..」

TN: He’s referring to being a talent for a black company

「Bla….?」

「Sorry, it’s nothing.」

Even though it can’t be helped because securing spring berries is a matter of life and death for them, I must stop them from this black company-like schedule.

Apparently, the flowerkins can fill their energy through photosynthesis.

That seems to be the reason why they can get by even with the simplest diet.
